It's Hero Time! Vol 1 ( Ben 10 x Massive Harem)

Chapter 25 - Friends and Foes

After getting his Arrancar comrades to help and Before This chapter took place. Lilynette asked Ben what else the Omnitrix could do, He shows both her and starrk by scanning them and the Omnitrix responded with Ben's voice saying Form unlocked. This surprises both of them, Ben tells them he will show them what it unlocked later to surprise everyone else.

Grinko Jeagerjaquez was in a sour mood.

Of course, by now everybody knew about what had happened between Ben Tennyson, Harribel's Fraccion, and Nnoitra. But what bothered her was the juicy part of the rumours: the fact that Tennyson took on Nnoitra and managed to fight him evenly. Now Nnoitra made it very clear to anybody within earshot that he had not been fighting all-out. Anybody here could vouch for that claim because they would have sensed him entering his Released State if he had.

Still, the fact that this strange human was able to fight on par with one of the five most powerful Espada was enough for gossip...and concern. But what did this have to do with Grinko personally? Well, another major topic of discussion regarding Tennyson was how well he would do against the other Espada. And some were figuring that if he could hold his own against the fifth Espada, he could very well easily do the same against the Espada lower than Nnoitra...of which Grinko was included. The thought made the Sixth Espada growl in aggravation.

"You're troubled, Grinko," noted the leader of his Fraccion, Shawlong Koufang.

Grinko turned to face him. The Arrancar had a long face and black hair that was braided and hung over the side. The remains of his mask were located on his head in the form of a sort of hat. A dropped portion of it covered the upper left half of his face and a long spike jutted out from the right of the "hat".

"It's annoying how all those idiots think that just because Tennyson could fight Nnoitra without dying means that he's a match for me," Grinko said.

"I suppose it can't be helped," said Eldrad Liones. "Simply because Nnoitra is ranked just above you."

Eldrad was a large man with a half-shaven head, noticeably by the red hair that flowed over the unshaven part. His mask remains took on the form of what one could mistake for sunglasses resting on his nose. His shirt was open, revealing the gaping Hollow Hole in his chest.

"I don't like it," said Yylfordt Granz, a man with blonde hair and mask remains that resembled a helmet on his head. His Hollow Hole was just visible through the slit in the upper half of his jacket. "This kid shows up out of nowhere, claiming to be from another universe, with a gauntlet that turns him into aliens powerful enough to fight the Espada."

Eldrad smirked at his comrade. "I'll bet Szayelaporro's just itching to learn more about him."

Yylfordt groaned at the mention of his brother. "Don't even get me started on him."

"Nonetheless, I believe Yylfordt is onto something," Shawlong said. "We know that at least one of his transformations is as powerful as a sealed Espada, but we still don't know how strong the rest are, let alone how many the boy can become. Tennyson is a wild card and we're taking too much of a risk by letting him stay here."

"So," said Di Roy Linker, with a sinister smile on his face. "Should we deal with him?"

Di Roy was a short male Arrancar with mask remains consisting of a bulky helmet that looked a bit like a hammerhead shark. The right-hand side of his mask was wrapped in bandages, covering up his right eye. His square, shark-like teeth, were showing thanks to his wicked smile.

"Sounds like suicide to me," Yylfordt said with a frown. "He's under Starrk's protection, remember? You want to tangle with the Prime Espada?"

"Not to mention that he's probably got Harribel on his side now," Eldrad pointed out.
